When Is The Best Time for Rafting In Canada?
When is the best time to go river rafting? Most say during the spring, summer and fall. During the spring season the water levels on Canadian rivers are at their highest. The spring is when the river is at its roughest and most challenging. In the summer the rivers are at their lowest water level. The summer is when the river is at its calmest. Best for family rafting. The rivers are always changing.
